Play Now Button.....WE DO NOT NEED THIS!!!

[Venomous]

Everytime I try to disconnect it starts this button up and half the time it takes 10 minutes to find 1 server when you can find 1 in under 10 seconds and after all that it picks the worst server it picked 1 that had armoured fury and euro forces, i dont even have those expansion packs, that button is such a pos they need to get rid of it, any agree?

It's awful, it completely wrecked by experience of BF2 in the first 10 minutes :P
Why the hell does it take so long to load?
Nowadays if I accidentally click it I just turn my computer off at the plug.

Ugh, it is terrible I agree. Everytime I accidentaly click it I'll manually shut down my pc aswell.

Well, assuming that you guys are using Windows XP you can always hit ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager to manually shut down BF2 instead of rebooting. And yes, I agree that the Play Now function is utterly worthless.

Is it possible to edit the localisation files and rename this button?

"Go make a nice cup of tea" button or something like that?

That button is prime example of Dice thinking.

That button is prime example of Dice thinking.

I guess DICE thinks like this then:

"Let's add a button to the menu that no one ever presses except by accident. When you press the button, BF2.exe takes five minutes to find a random server and then begins to load. And once you press the button, the program becomes completely unresponsive until it finishes finding a server. Good idea?"
